Wallis Annenberg Hall, Communication and journalism building at University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
Wallis Annenberg Hall is a university building at the University of Southern California dedicated to communication and journalism education across five floors. It houses broadcast studios, media centers, and technology laboratories connected by a central atrium that runs through the structure.
The building opened in 2014 as part of the university's effort to modernize its facilities for media education. It represents a significant investment in updating how students learn communication and journalism practices.
Students work in the broadcast studios on media projects while faculty members teach approaches that combine journalism, film, and communication. It functions as a gathering place where aspiring journalists and creators develop their skills alongside each other.
The building is easily located on the USC campus and offers multiple entry points and access levels for visitors and students. Most facilities are equipped with current technology, though access to active production studios may be restricted during active classes.
Interior glass elements reference Gothic stained glass windows and connect the building to the campus's Collegiate Romanesque architecture in a subtle way. These design choices blend modern function with the historic style of surrounding structures.
